calling all fundamental baptists!!!!

I know how baptist love to eat.  Well at least all the ones I know.  And because of that love of food I have gain a bit of weight over the past 3 years.  Well every year I go down to work at a Christian camp in W.V.  And I will be leaving on the 9th of June.  Well I want to Lose between 10 and 15 lbs by the time I leave.  I started this diet in October of 07 and have lost my first 15 already and just need to lose 15 more.  So if there is anyone out there who'd like to join me, wothout unnessessary comments that a christian would take offence too.  Just a clean good time while losing weight and while praising God for allowing us to live in a country that alows us to have others to encourage and encourage us.

I don't think love of food is strictly something of baptists...its a common thread among most Americans regardles of religion, hence the obesity problem we have in America.

Good luck woth your weight loss though.  And in your picture you look pretty thin, you don't look like you need any weight.

minia13- I don't know if you have a religion, and if so if you are baptists.  It is just a baptist joke, in every baptist church I have visited and the one I attend that we baptist love to eat.  That is why I said that.  I wasn't implying that only baptist love to eat.  I know that for a fack.  SOrry if what I said offended.  Just wanted to make that clear.  Yeah, I don't thatnk I am fat.  In any way.  But because my body gains and loses so evenly throughout it is never noticed, exept by me, that I gain or lose.  SO I just want to get rid of a few extra inches, throughout my body.

Iwasnt offended at all, just pointingnout that food is a social thing, so when peopel get together they often incorporate food.  That includes at church functions.

Anyway, like I said good luck!~

zochia -

I am totally with you - I am southern baptist and it is all about the food all the time - good food too :) good luck on your weight loss journey - I am sure you will be able to do it... hopefully without all the haters LOL

Have at fun at camp!

hi minie 13,

Your so sweet, and I love the fact you profess your faith "fundemental Babtist". I get your intent fundamental Babtists are well rounded normal Christian people, yes people, who love to gather and fellowship which of course involves lots of good food.   My daughter has about 15 lbs to loose too, and she also recentley within the las year lost about 15- 20 lbs. Slow and steady wins the race. Honor God in all you do, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit

God bless your sweetness. Have fun at camp!

I is so good to know that there are others out there who believe in the same thing as I!!!!  I am glad you have joined me.  You guys can weigh in on what ever day fits you best.  I am starting this at 130lbs.  And so by june 9th I want to be to 115, the perfect weight for my height.  I want to take care of this body as well as I can so that I can serve God to the fullest extent. 

I'm a Christian (and a member of an Independent Baptist Church). I have to be very careful on our 'pot luck' days so I understand where you're coming from.   Sometimes I just declare Sunday an 'off' day (or a metabolism boosting day) so that I don't have to worry about being selective in what I eat!

God bless you. I hope you meet your weight loss goals!
